Cult of Mask

WTF?

The legacy effigy (above) at Ala Moana Center was already up to greet Saturnalia shoppers. What the ...? Is that a face mask? The face mask bullshit has really gone too far. It’s a damned death cult!

Last night, traffic into Waikiki was backed up. People were apparently rolling in and looking for the infamous Day of Samhain street party. Weren’t they aware that the Fascist mayor of Honolulu had mummified all such events? The only street party was the traffic itself. Sheesh!

Incidentally, there’s reason to believe that many of the tourists here right now are terribly disappointed with their expensive vacations. Most of them were probably fooled into believing that, once they tested negative for “super-duper corona” before departure, they would enter an unaffected “paradise” just like the pictures in the travel brochures (in which no one wears a face mask).

Instead, tourists were dumbfounded when they landed in essentially a huge hospital ward. Face masks, face shields, blue rubber gloves, and “social distancing” everywhere. And, what can be more alluring that observing crews continuously disinfecting everything in sight? Many venues look like triage centers, what with all of the barricades and yellow police tape. Heck, there are no places to sit down and relax (except in restaurants, food courts, bus stops, and parks). No doubt, more than a few tourists have realized that their sole purpose here is to save the local economy. Well, as “they” say, “A fool and his money are soon parted.” Baha! Ha! Ha! Haaa!

Addendum: Young hottie overheard on the bus heading to Waikiki: “I’m supposed to be in quarantine. I don’t want to get arrested.”
